GunnerBill Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 It's a worry. Not so much this week, because personally I'd just ask White to travel with Crabtree and I don't think the others will trouble us too much but next week against the Chargers wideouts I'll be a little concerned.

Happy Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 This just says it's too close to call, IMO. Either way, I think the drop off will be substantial from Tre White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjj Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 i say let Gaines play CB2 spot and Johnson in the slot. That way last years depth chart wont have to be changed!? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 WR and CB are two of the weakest positions on the team - which is not a coincidence, since Watkins and Darby were shipped out with no replacements brought in. I am extremely unimpressed with the roster-building decisions of Beane & Co. to date. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaines outplayed Darby last year and Watkins bolted in free agency. I'm guessing they figured they did not want to pay Watkins 16 mil per year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those dudes were both on one-year contracts which the Bills chose not to renew - they were hardly "replacements" for elite young talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins and Darby are Elite? Do you think the bills were going to sign Watkins after his contract expired? So we got a second round pick and EJ Gaines for him and lost exactly nothing. As for Darby he was outplayed last year by Gaines, if you want to criticize, criticize not resigning Gains not the trade.

Pirate Angel Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) No decision = oh sh*t ...Davis didn't bounce back noe we have 2 below average players at cb. Cleveland might have paid more than you should for ej Gaines but it wasn't a break the bank set your franchise back deal eiyhrr.

Dr.Sack Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Does Davis giving 2 steps of separation matter with a 6’6” middle linebacker? Edited September 7, 2018 by Dr.Sack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 I think it will be Gaines. He’s been practicing with the 1s since the Cincy game if I’ve followed the reports correctly. Can Vontae play in the slot?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderGun Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 McDermott may not be the most innovative mind in football, but he’s not going to just leave Davis/Gaines out there on an island. Luckily Buffalo is deep at safety and with them using the 3 safety package throughout camp, either corner will be getting plenty of help. I think as long as Davis gets that help over the top so he doesn’t have to worry about getting beat deep, he will be fine. Hopefully he’s just been shaking of the rust...

Both of our starting safeties also can play corner and safety is our deepest position ... so I agree the scheme will be drawn up as needed. These aren’t world beaters at WR. They have no real #1. Crab is a #2 WR at this point and Snead and Brown are 2-3. Edited September 7, 2018 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its not EJ Gaines, pretty sure everyone knows... if it were EJ Gaines then he'd be injured and not even playing. Dude was constantly off the field. Confused why he is still brought up so much. Yes he was great last year but was practically unknown before that. Maybe its the system / coaches that really brings the best out of the players...

GreggTX Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 This is very discouraging news. The secondary is our strongest unit or at least as good as our RB's, but the depth is nonexistent at this time. We really need Davis to step up.
